With Elden Ring Nightreign, FromSoftware added just a little agility to Elden Ring's controls, and then it added more and more until players became the cliff-jumping, marathon-sprinting, castle-scaling athletes that they are today. Inventive players have used the game's expansive and forgiving climbing system to find parkour shortcuts all over the map, and one player has cooked up a new one that I'm adding to my personal cheat sheet just below the ever-reliable castle corner jump.
Reddit user Scott_Yeung shared a short clip of him scaling a fort facade with Revenant – funnily enough, the smallest playable character in Nightreign, though I suppose tiny feet could be a good thing when dealing with tiny footholds. "In case you didn't know this shortcut," they said, demonstrating one of the most ridiculous and convoluted shortcuts I've seen so far. (I tried to embed the video, but Reddit embeds have been broken for days.)
